IHO – NIPPON FOUNDATION ALUMNI SEMINAR Suggestion for the future During the course, all our course materials are based on information and practices done in the UK. While it is a good exposure for us to know and use information that is out of the norm, I think it will also be beneficial for us to be working on information that we actually see and use in our daily course of work. For instance, the topic on Chart Text & Styles are not fully applicable to us as we do not have all the fonts that UKHO uses blue contours while we don’t. UKHO has various levels of rounding rules for depth sounding while we don’t, we retain or truncate.

IHO – NIPPON FOUNDATION ALUMNI SEMINAR Suggestion for the future My suggestion is to add an additional module where we apply cartographic skills based on information and practices that we use back in our own organizations. Perhaps this way, we are able to relate and apply these skills better in our daily course of work when we return to work.
